Col Charles Booth Brackenbury, RA [C B Brackenbury] (1831-1890), military historian and British Army officer in Crimea, and warBiblio.com

Col. Charles Booth Brackenbury R.A. military historian and Times correspondent. Autograph Letter Signed to his editor J. T. Delane on writing and reviewing after the Franco-Prussian war with claim to have ‘started the Intelligence Department’.

2448210 April 1874; from Hill Street Woolwich on letterhead of Hill House Woolwich S.E. An excellent letter casting light on the relationship between the editor of The Times and a senior correspondent. See the two men’s entries in the Oxford DNB. Brackenbury’s states that ‘During the Austro-Prussian War of 1866 Brackenbury was the Times correspondent with the Austrian army and was at the battle of Königgrätz Sadowa — riding with Benedek under fire at Chlum — and reported the naval battle of Lissa. He was the Times correspondent in the Franco-Prussian War accompanying Prince Frederick Charles in the Le Mans campaign; and in the Russo-Turkish War of 1877 when he crossed the Balkans with Count Gourko.’ 4pp 12mo. Bifolium. In very good condition folded twice. Thin strip from windowpane mount adhering to edges in not unpleasing way. Signed ‘C. B. Brackenbury’ and addressed to ‘My dear Delane’. The letter begins: ‘Captain Clarke brought me today the last number of his translation of the German War of 1870-71. He is sending you a copy and I hope you will find some one to review it in my place.’ Brackenbury has himself translated ‘the Report of the Committee on French Army re organization together with the law as proposed and passed’ which the War Office is publishing. ‘You shall have the first copy issued which I will mark myself.’ In his opinion a great deal of the report ‘bears upon much more than French re-organization’. He will be very glad if Delane finds it ‘worth a notice’. He continues: ‘Though I may not write more on military affairs I don’t see why I should not review other books if you can find any for me. Even if you have no space for them at present the reviews might stand over till the interest of the new parliament is over.’ It seems to him ‘unnatural to have no work in hand for you’. The postscript reads: ‘They say that my review of Clarke’s first number started the Intelligence Department.’ 10 April 1874; from Hill Street [Woolwich], on letterhead of Hill House, Woolwich, S.E. unknown

Sir John Lambert (1772-1847), British Army general in the Napoleonic Wars [Henry Bathurst (1762-1834), 3rd Earl Bathurst; BattleBiblio.com

The Fall of Fort Bowyer to the British following the Battle of New Orleans 1815. Contemporary Manuscript Copy of Autograph Despatch from Major John Lambert to Earl Bathurst describing the action.

21235'Head Quarters Isle Dauphine February 14th. 1815.' On paper with Golding & Snelgrove watermark dated 1811. 3pp foolscap 8vo. On laid paper with watermark: 'GOLDING & SNELGROVE 1811'. Aged and worn with closed tears along folds but with text complete and clear. The document includes two passages written in red ink which has faded but is still legible. The background to the present letter is given in Lambert's entry in the Oxford DNB: 'On 4 June 1813 Lambert was promoted major-general and was appointed to a brigade of the 6th division. … Having been sent to America he joined the army under Sir Edward Pakenham below New Orleans on 6 January 1815 with the 7th and 43rd foot regiments. In the unsuccessful attack on the American trenches made two days afterwards he commanded the reserve. When Pakenham was killed and General Gibbs mortally wounded the chief command devolved on Lambert. He decided not to renew the attack withdrew the troops which had been sent across the Mississippi and after retreating on 18 January re-embarked his force on the 27th. It went to the Bay of Mobile where Fort Bowyer was taken on 12 February and next day news arrived that peace had been signed.' The letter appears in its entirety in William James's 'A Full and Correct Account of the Military Occurrences of the Late War between Great Britain and the United States of America' London: 1818. It begins: 'My Lord My dispatch dated January 29th. will have informed your Lordship of the re-embarkation of this force which was completed on the 30th.: the weather came on so bad on that night and continued so until the 5th. February so that no communication could be held with the Ships at the inner anchorage a distance of about seventeen miles It being agreed between Vice Admiral Sir Alexander Cochrane and myself that operations should be carried towards Mobile it was decided that a force should be sent against Fort Bowyer situated on the eastern point of the entrance of the bay and from every information that could be obtained it was considered a brigade would be sufficient for this object with a respectable force of artillery.' Lambert proceeds to give a description of how following 'an incessant fire for two days' Fort Bowyer was 'given up to a British guard and British colours hoisted; the terms being signed by Major Smith military Secretary and Captain Ricketts R.N. and finally approved of by the Vice Admiral and myself'. He gives full credit to those involved. 'Head Quarters Isle Dauphine | February 14th. 1815.' [On paper with Golding & Snelgrove watermark dated 1811.] unknown

[Civil War – Union Army – Carolinas Campaign – Freedmen] Vannada, George HBiblio.com

Letter from Union Army Soldier Concerning Shermanâ€™s â€œForty Acresâ€ Order and His Carolinas Campaign

1865List2724South Carolina 1865. Single letter measuring 7.5 x 10 inches folded one double-sided sheet with stampless envelope. Near fine with light normal wear. George Harpole Vannada 1844â€“1928 was a private promoted to corporal in Company I of the 25th Indiana Infantry Regiment during the Civil War. The 25th Infantry was a volunteer regiment mustered in August 1861 and mustered out in July 1865. At the time of Vannadaâ€™s writing the Regiment was involved in the Campaign of the Carolinas â€“ led by General Sherman this campaign would culminate in the Army of the Southâ€™s unconditional surrender and effectively end the war. Vannada writes that his regiment had â€œstarted with 25 days rations from pocotaligo staton for i supose Charleston.â€ On the way they had encountered: â€œa few Johneys i.e. Confederates not far off i have heard sevrel cannons to day we will be botherd with them all the way to Charleston between here and Buford they had a fort a bout evry 3 miles they wood stop and fire a few shots and then get up a bug for the next fortâ€. By â€œBufordâ€ Vannada probably means Beaufort South Carolina which had been occupied by Union forces since November 1861. At this point the Savannah area had been essentially a refugee camp for freed people for several years and Shermanâ€™s Special Field Orders No. 15 which settled them in the nearby South Carolina Sea Islandsâ€”the â€œforty acres and a muleâ€ orderâ€”came in response to their request for stewardship over the land. Vannada remarks on Shermanâ€™s order: â€œGen Foster has been on Buford Iland for 2 years and now Sherman has comand of his troops i think they will get off now this Iland they have to give to the Niggars to setle on that is all that have famlies 40 acre to the manâ€. Vannada also accurately forecasts despite the fact that â€œwe donâ€™t often get any papers here to see what is goin onâ€ that there â€œis some talk of peace down here but i think it is sevrel months off yetâ€. unknown
